Troubleshooting
Problem
There is no dial tone.
Suggestion
• First, try all the above suggestions.
• Move the handset closer to the telephone base. It might be out of range.
I cannot dial out.
• Make sure there is a dial tone before dialing on the HOME line. It is normal if the handset takes
a second or two to synchronize with the telephone before producing a dial tone. Wait an extra
second before dialing.
• If the other telephones in your home are having the same problem, the problem is in the wiring
or local service. Contact your local telephone company (charges may apply).
• Eliminate any background noise. Noise from a television, radio, or other appliances may cause
the telephone to not dial out properly. If you cannot eliminate the background noise, first try
muting the cordless handset before dialing, or dialing from another room in your home with less
background noise.

Appendix
• The telephone line cord might be malfunctioning. Try installing a new telephone line cord.
• Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone jack and connect a different telephone. If
there is no dial tone on that telephone either, the problem is in your wiring or local service.

Suggestion
The telephone does
not ring when there
is an incoming call.
• Make sure the ringer is on.
• Make sure the telephone line cord and power adapter(s) are plugged in properly.
• The handset may be too far from the telephone base. Move it closer to the telephone base.
• There may be too many extension phones on the telephone line to allow all of them to ring
simultaneously. Try unplugging some of them.
• If the other telephones in your home are having the same problem, the problem is in the wiring
or local service. Contact the local telephone company (charges may apply).
• Other electronic products can cause interference to your cordless telephone. Try installing your
telephone as far away as possible from the following electronic devices: wireless routers, radios,
radio towers, pager towers, intercoms, room monitors, televisions, VCRs, personal computers,
kitchen appliances, and other cordless telephones.
• Test a working telephone at the telephone jack. If another telephone has the same problem, the
problem is in the telephone jack. Contact your local telephone company (charges may apply).
• The telephone line cord might be malfunctioning. Try installing a new telephone line cord.
• Re-install the battery and place the handset in the telephone base.
• Wait for the handset to synchronize with the telephone base. Allow up to one minute for this to

My calls fade out
or cut in and out
when I am using the
cordless handset.
• Appliances or other cordless telephones plugged into the same circuit as the telephone base can
cause interference. Try moving the appliances or telephone base to another outlet.
• Microwave ovens operate on the same frequency as your telephone. It is normal to experience
static on your telephone while the microwave oven is in operation. Do not install this telephone in
the same outlet or near a microwave oven.
• If your telephone is plugged in with a modem or a surge protector, plug the telephone (or modem/
surge protector) into a different location. If this solves the problem, re-locate your telephone or
modem farther apart from each other, or use a different surge protector.
• The layout of your home or office might be limiting the operating range. Try moving the telephone
base to another location, preferably a higher location for better reception.
• Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone jack and plug in a corded telephone. If calls
are still not clear, the problem is probably in the wiring or local service. Contact your local service
company (charges may apply).
• Do you have DSL service? If yes, you need to have a DSL filter installed at every telephone jack
that has a telephone connected to it. Contact your DSL service provider for filter information.

Operating range
This cordless telephone operates with the maximum power allowed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Even so, this handset and telephone base can
communicate over only a certain distance ---which can vary with the locations of the telephone base and handset, the weather, and the layout of your home or office.
When the handset is out of range, the handset will display Searching for Base.... The user can access the handset directory and certain parts of the menu system.
Still searching for Base will be displayed if access is denied.
If there is a call while the handset is out of range, it might not ring, or if it does ring, the call might not connect well when you press HOME/FLASH. Move closer to
the telephone base, then press HOME/FLASH to answer the call.
If the handset moves out of range during a telephone conversation, there might be interference.
To improve reception, move closer to the telephone base.
Maintenance
Taking care of your telephone
Your cordless telephone contains sophisticated electronic parts, so it must be treated with care.
Avoid rough treatment
Place the handset down gently. Save the original packing materials to protect your telephone if you ever need to ship it.
Avoid water
Your telephone can be damaged if it gets wet. Do not use the handset in the rain, or handle it with wet hands. Do not install the telephone base near a sink, bathtub
or shower.
Electrical storms
Electrical storms can sometimes cause power surges harmful to electronic equipment. For your own safety, take caution when using electric appliances during storms.
Cleaning your telephone
Your telephone has a durable plastic casing that should retain its luster for many years. Clean it only with a soft cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild soap.
Do not use excess water or cleaning solvents of any kind.
Remember that electrical appliances can cause serious injury if used when you are wet or standing in water. If the telephone base should fall into the water, DO
NOT RETRIEVE IT UNTIL YOU UNPLUG THE POWER CORD AND TELEPHONE LINE CORD FROM THE WALL. Then pull the unit out by the unplugged cords.

Privacy: The same features that make a cordless telephone convenient create some limitations. Telephone calls are transmitted between the telephone base and
the cordless handset by radio waves, so there is a possibility that the cordless telephone conversations could be intercepted by radio receiving equipment within
range of the cordless handset. For this reason, you should not think of cordless telephone conversations as being as private as those on corded telephones.
Electrical Power: The telephone base of this cordless telephone must be connected to a working electrical outlet. The electrical outlet should not be controlled
by a wall switch. Calls cannot be made from the cordless handset if the telephone base is unplugged or switched off, or if the electrical power is interrupted.
Potential TV Interference: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause interference to televisions and VCRs. To minimize or prevent
such interference, do not place the telephone base of the cordless telephone near or on top of a TV or VCR. If interference is experienced, moving the cordless
telephone farther away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference.
Rechargeable Batteries: This product contains either Nickel-Cadmium or Nickel-Metal Hydride rechargeable batteries. Exercise care in handling batteries in
order not to create a short circuit with conducting material such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause harm. Observe
proper polarity between the battery and the battery charger.
Nickel-Metal Hydride Rechargeable Batteries: Dispose of these batteries in a safe manner. Do not burn or puncture. Like other batteries of this type, if
burned or punctured, they could release caustic material which could cause injury.
